Lian Li PC-Q30 Aluminium Mini ITX Tower Chassis Review

Interior

The front panel is pre-wired with the motherboard connections for the power, reset and LED indicators that you would expect to find. It is easily removed thanks to two small screws on each side of the chassis.

The interior is fairly simple, the motherboard standoffs are pre-installed, the GPU on the left, storage in the bottom right and PSU in the bottom left.

The hard drive bay is held in place with a thumb screw (see above) and can easily be removed for mounting of your drives.

With room for 4 x 2.5″ drives there shouldn’t be too much trouble packing plenty of HDD space into this chassis.

The underside of the mount features rubber slide in washers, this makes it easy to install / remove the bay from the chassis, but the rubber should also help reduce vibration on any mechanical drives.

Around the back we can see the rear fan comes fitted with a guard to prevent cables getting jammed in the fan blades. There is a little room to the side of the fan also and with a little care you could sneak a little cable routing behind the motherboard. The rear fan has a standard 3-pin connection, but also comes fitted with a 3-pin to molex adaptor.
